How do you have “unalienable rights endowed by our Creator” if there’s no Creator?

At that point, rights come from a consensus agreement of man, and that can be redefined at any time by changing that consensus. That is liberalism, not conservatism.

False dichotomy.

Grab a copy of Leonard Peikoff's Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (Amazon, ARB).

Not going to proselytize. :)

It is a dichotomy, but not a false one.

You either have man’s rules or God’s rules.

And, sorry, I’m not wasting time reading the philosophical rantings of atheists. I’ve got too much else to read to raise children with the correct worldview.

I assume the screed rests its argument on “Natural Law”.
